Spa & aesthetics in Milwaukee, WI: who answers their Google reviews

We read 100 businesses across 5 trades — the businesses someone searching in Milwaukee, WI is shown — and recorded what their Google reviews look like.

Measured 2026-09-28 from public Google listings. Ranked on reply behaviour, never on star rating.

Of the five spa and aesthetics trades among the businesses someone searching in Milwaukee, WI is shown, dermatology carries the deepest review histories and the lowest median rating. We read 20 dermatology listings, and the median one holds 381 Google reviews; the three most-reviewed hold 1065, 1001 and 863. Its median rating, 4.7, is the lowest of the five trades here. IV therapy runs the other way: across the 20 we read, the median listing holds 87 reviews and the median rating is 5.

Day spas sit lower still on volume: a median of 76 reviews and a 4.9 median rating, with the three most-reviewed at 557, 537 and 293. Med spas and plastic surgery fall between IV therapy and dermatology — medians of 130.5 and 140 reviews, and median ratings of 4.9 and 4.8. The three most-reviewed med spa listings hold 937, 809 and 729 reviews; the three most-reviewed plastic surgery listings, 795, 729 and 628.

Those counts and ratings describe each listing's whole history. Replies are a different window: the most recent reviews on each listing. Across the 56 businesses we measured in this catchment, a typical one had answered 66% of those. Inside this group the strongest repliers clear that comfortably. Highlander Dermatology & Aesthetic Center answered 10 of its last 10, and it is also the most-reviewed dermatology listing we read, at 1065. Erik C. Alexander, MD, FAAD answered 10 of 10 on a listing of 603 reviews, and Forefront Dermatology Wauwatosa 9 of 10 on 863. In plastic surgery, Sono Bello Milwaukee answered 10 of 10 on 628 reviews and Quintessa Aesthetic Center 10 of 10 on 322. Face to Face Spa at Greenfield answered 10 of 10 in med spas, and Neroli Salon & Spa - Downtown 10 of 10 in day spas.

What differs by trade is the depth behind the leader. In day spas the three answering the most managed 10, 9 and 9 of their last 10, and in dermatology 10, 10 and 9. In med spas and IV therapy the third of those three answered 2 of its last 10; in plastic surgery, 3 of 10.

What to do about it

Count how many of your own last 10 Google reviews carry a reply from you. That single number is what this page measures, and it is the part of your listing you control without asking a customer for anything.

Where you sit depends on the trade. In dermatology the three answering the most of their recent reviews managed 10, 10 and 9 of their last 10, and in day spas 10, 9 and 9 — so in those two trades a listing with few replies sits behind three named businesses in its own trade. In med spas and IV therapy the third-strongest replier answered 2 of its last 10, and in plastic surgery 3 of 10, so answering most of yours would put you among the strongest repliers we read there.

Median ratings in this group run from 4.7 to 5, so a reply is not damage control. Write it yourself, answer the specific thing the customer named, and do it on the good ones as well as the bad.
